Annual Burnham Memorial Cycle Race pedals off on Sunday

The Annual Burnham Memorial Road Race, sponsored by the Burnham Foundation and organised through the Flying Stars Cycle Club, has been approved for this Sunday, February 20, 2022.

The race will pedal off at 14:00h (2pm) from Carifesta Avenue (start), and travel to Belfield, ECD before returning to Carifesta Avenue for the finish. This exciting event would feature the Open category, and the top six finishers would each be awarded. The top three juniors, top four veterans under-50 and top three veterans over-50 would likewise be awarded.

A total of five sprint prizes would be up for grabs in this fast-paced, nerve-tingling race. Cyclists who desire to participate in this weekend’s event can register at Sean Chin Chan’s Cycling Shop. For further information, kindly contact Mr. Howard on 649-1162.

Alexander Leung, Clavicia Spencer, Paul Chooweenam, and Raymond Newton also emerged as winners of the various categories on Sunday last.
